This unit will consider both experienced and new graduate RN's. If you are a new graduate you will be able to participate in our Nurse Residency Program. Sentara Healthcare Hospitals have joined the Vizient/ACCN Nurse Residency Program™ (NRP) which effectively supports new nurse graduates as they transition into their first professional roles. Built on evidence based curriculum developed by experts from academic medical centers and nursing schools across the country, the program focuses on these critical areas; leadership, patient outcomes and professional role. If you have less than 1 year of experience as a Registered Nurse, you will be automatically enrolled in this year long program. The residency curriculum is designed as monthly 4-hour seminar sessions and is considered paid work time supported by your education and leadership teams.

Our unit is staffed 24/7. We have 12-hour shifts on both days and nights, which both rotate with weekend requirements and holiday packages. Unit Orientation is individualized and based off of your educational needs. All RNs are required to obtain their Chemotherapy/Biotherapy Provider Card within 1-year of joining our team. More information will be given during onboarding regarding unit specific requirements. The most important trait that we ask you to bring to work every day is Excellent Customer Service and Teamwork. We are proud of our 100% commitment towards Customer Service and teamwork every day!

We are proud to utilize Epic as our EMR.
